If I want to have a multi-user system, but don't want ICQ to startup for 
every user, how do I change this? It's not in the start-up group, I 
presume it's in the registry (can turn it on or off using msconfig). 
However I just want it to auto-start for my user account and no one 
else.

Cheers,

If you turn it off with 'msconfig' you should be able to duplicated the
startup command line into a shortcut and pop it in the startup group for
each user. Not elegant, but then I don't use ICQ. Should work though

You need to move the entry (delete) for ICQ  from:

HKey_Local_Machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

to (create)

HKey_Current_User\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

Do this when you are logged in as the user you want it to start for.

Paul
